Smooth vector Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
A smooth vector in any abstract group representation of a locally profinite group has an open stabilizer, equivalently is fixed by some compact-open subgroup. Smooth vectors form an invariant linear subspace: use intersections for addition and conjugation for translation. A smooth representation is one in which every vector has this property.
A smooth map is transverse to an embedded submanifold when
This is a sum of vector subspaces, not necessarily a direct sum. Equivalently the composition of with the quotient to is surjective. In a slice chart for an embedded submanifold of codimension , the normal coordinate functions composed with have surjective derivative on their common zero set. If the preimage is empty the condition holds vacuously.
A continuous map from a smooth manifold to can be approximated by a smooth map with any prescribed positive continuous pointwise error bound. In coordinate charts, smoothing by local convolution and then combining with a smooth partition of unity gives the approximation. On a compact subset of an open chart domain, a smooth cutoff allows the resulting straight-line homotopy to be supported in that domain. This permits the Sard theorem to be used after approximation; the original continuous map can be space-filling and need not omit a point.
For smooth maps from a compact manifold with a fixed Riemannian metric to Euclidean space, the displayed metric measures uniform convergence of maps and their first derivatives. For a manifold embedded in Euclidean space use its induced metric. Different fixed metrics give equivalent topologies on a compact domain.
A smooth embedding of a compact manifold remains an embedding under sufficiently small C1 metric on a smooth mapping space perturbations. A positive uniform lower bound on its differential preserves immersion. Finite coordinate neighborhoods give uniform local injectivity for nearby maps, and compactness separates the remaining pairs of points. A uniform second-derivative bound gives an explicit local Taylor estimate, although it is not necessary for the C1 openness statement.
Choose finitely many coordinate charts on a compact manifold and smooth functions supported in them, positive on a cover. Extend the displayed chart products by zero. A positive first coordinate and its matching chart coordinates separate points, while their derivatives detect every nonzero tangent vector. Thus the map is an injective immersion; compactness makes it a smooth embedding. Extra zero coordinates make its codimension positive if required.
Function spectrum 2026-10-14
The internal function spectrum is characterized by . For a based space , notation abbreviates .
For a tension-dominated membrane with internal dimension , the massless Gaussian height covariance has spectrum . Removing the uniform translation mode leaves the height difference well-defined. Its variance grows linearly with distance for , logarithmically for , and approaches a cutoff-dependent constant for . A microscopic cutoff is necessary when the short-distance integral diverges. This distinguishes rough positional order from a failure of the local small-slope approximation.

A slip line is a characteristic curve of a yielded plane-strain plastic equilibrium system. The two orthogonal families carry stress and velocity compatibility relations. Their directions need not agree with principal stress directions.

Uniform-pressure evolution of a slender viscous bubble Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
A periodic slender bubble with and negligible internal pressure variation has exterior radial velocity and pressure . Its conserved mean cross-sectional area gives . Comparing the constant and sinusoidal terms gives the displayed equations. The long-wave growth rate about radius is , and . Small internal viscosity eventually produces appreciable axial pressure gradients near a neck, so this uniform-pressure reduction cannot persist to pinch-off at fixed positive viscosity ratio.

Combining with the exterior radial normal-stress balance gives the displayed implicit evolution equation. The radial viscous normal stress and capillary pressure both matter in its local pinch-off similarity.
Hecke-normalized rational slash operator Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
For a rational matrix of positive determinant, this slash normalization differs from the determinant-normalized slash operator by . Both are right actions, by the automorphy factor identity. For a positive scalar , the displayed action of is multiplication by . On determinant-one matrices it agrees with the ordinary slash operator for modular forms. This normalization makes a good-prime Hecke operator a plain sum over its double-coset representatives.

Decompose for finite-index congruence subgroups . The sum is independent of representative choices because is invariant under . Right multiplication by permutes these right cosets, so the sum is invariant under . Each summand is holomorphic in the half-plane; cusp holomorphy under rational slash operators proves holomorphy at every new cusp. The same reasoning preserves vanishing at cusps. With the Hecke-normalized rational slash operator, no extra scalar is needed in the defining sum.
Skorokhod reflection map on the half-line Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
For a continuous driving path with , the running supremum supplies the minimal nondecreasing regulator keeping the path nonnegative. It increases only at a new negative running minimum, where the reflected path is zero. Any regulator satisfying the Skorokhod problem constraints must coincide with it. On a finite time interval, , so the map is continuous and transfers a functional central limit theorem to reflected workloads.

Adjoining an inverse of to the skew polynomial ring of an automorphism allows finite sums , with . Every element can be moved into the polynomial subring by multiplying by a sufficiently large power of . Consequently, for a right ideal of this ring, is generated by its intersection with the polynomial subring: if lies there, then . This proves transfer of right Noetherianity from the polynomial subring, and multiplication on the left proves the left-handed version.
Fluid limit of the SIRS Markov chain Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
For convergent initial proportions, the scaled SIRS Markov chain converges uniformly in probability on each fixed finite interval to the solution of these equations. The Poisson time-change representation of a Markov chain writes it as its integrated drift plus centered Poisson errors. Bounded rates, Poisson concentration and the Gronwall inequality control the error. This finite-time limit does not by itself justify an approximation over time intervals growing with the population size.
